Now, I am no artist by any stretch of the imagination. However, I was fooling around with one of those online doodling things and came up with a quick little scribble based off the Galapagos Blue Footed Booby, seen here:

Here it is:

Egg and stage 1: http://i1083.photobucket.com/albums/j387/alleles/bobby.jpg
Stage 2: http://i1083.photobucket.com/albums/j387/alleles/bobbie2.jpg



The Bobbie (I think one says Bobby, but I decided on Bobbie...)

Clumsy and elusive, the Bobbie has proven to be a fascinating specimen to the researchers at the SAR Center. In late summer and early fall, it performs a quirky courtship dance before its partner, often stumbling and falling flat on its face, but never lacking sincerity. It has been said that if you place a Bobbie egg up to your ear as it hatches, you can hear its heartbeat, which sounds startlingly close to the rapping sound its feet make during courtship.

I can't really understand it though.... it's very messy. ☹️

Translation:

Lol, it was really nothing.
Just that he falls on his face in stage 2. xD
And then that the black thing on the egg is a wing.
